# List of Senators of the First Brazilian Senate

The First Brazilian Senate met on May 6, 1826, at noon, where 31 senators witnessed the creation of the House. Of the 50 senators with life tenure chosen by the 19 provinces and the Emperor, nine were judges, seven came from the Church, four from the Army, in addition to two doctors, one lawyer and four landowners. Almost half (23) would be raised to life peerage over time as barons, viscounts and marquises.
At that time, seats were distributed proportionally to the population of each province.
